We’re coming around on Todd Phillips’ Joker movie, which will star Joaquin Phoenix as a refreshingly straightforward version of the Clown Prince Of Crime in a lower-budget superhero drama that just happens to be about a guy in funny makeup, but let’s not forget that Warner Bros. has some other Joker-centric spin-offs…
In June, actress Chloe Dykstra published a lengthy essay in which she accused an ex-boyfriend of sexually and emotionally abusing her while they were together, and while she didn’t give the man’s name, it was clear from references to him being a “successful podcaster” and “powerhouse CEO of his own company” that…
Last Man Standing is coming back from a well-deserved death on ABC for a revival on Fox this week, but if you simply cannot wait to see Tim Allen grunt and roll his eyes at—ugh—women and young people, the Last Man Standing Twitter account has dumped the full premiere online early. Now you can watch a far-too-long meta…
Zack Snyder’s Watchmen movie had a memorable soundtrack, with some direct lifts from Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ original comic combined with My Chemical Romance covering “Desolation Row,” but HBO’s Watchmen sequel thing is going to go in a direction with a lot more droning industrial music. According to /Film, Trent…
Adam Sandler has a new stand-up special coming to Netflix on October 23. It’s called 100% Fresh, which we’re going to assume is a nod to the critically acclaimed nature of his other Netflix works.
Earlier this summer, Kingsman and Kick-Ass director Matthew Vaughn announced that his production company is planning to make a bunch of Kingsman spin-offs and a proper sequel to the Taron Egerton-starring spy movies.

And so, the paradoxical quest to find a man who is somehow both a) willing to get on national TV and voice his aggressive support for Donald Trump, and b), not plagued by some form of TV-toxic racist or sexist scandal just waiting to emerge resumes yet again today, with THR reporting that CNN has parted ways with…
Earlier this year, the Cannes Film Festival played host to at least one film that was entirely illegal to show or possess in its home country: Wanuri Kahiu’s LGBTQ romance film Rafiki, which has been outlawed in Kahiu’s native Kenya. The film tells the story of a growing love between two young women, Kena and Ziki…
It’s been a minute since we’ve gotten to taste the quick, satisfying, and entirely wholesome rush of watching Alex Jones get kicked off of something. (Ah, for the heady days when Facebook, iTunes, Spotify, and even Twitter were all getting in on the “Fuck Infowars” fun.) Luckily, PayPal has still got our back,…
Although its primary reason for existing—i.e., serving as a horrible series of sounds and images to force on your nearest and dearest friends to emotionally fuck them up, the same way someone else so kindly did for you—has now largely been replicated and replaced by the internet, Faces Of Death is still an…
It’s now been 15 years since Freddy Vs. Jason, the last time horror icon Robert Englund strapped on the clawed glove and dapper fedora of Frederick Krueger, Professional Pun Murderer. (Jackie Earle Haley took on the role for the inevitable 2010 reboot of the Nightmare On Elm Street franchise.) But now, Elm Street’s…
Introducing former Secretary of State, U.S. Senator, First Lady, author, and person who won the popular vote by three million votes Hillary Clinton, Stephen Colbert had to wait for his audience’s extended applause to die down. And, sure, losing an election to a buffoonish bigot reality show host and confessed sex…
Who knew Val Kilmer plus Law & Order mastermind Dick Wolf equaled “ominous child endangerment”? Kilmer (and his tiny little glasses) creep their way through this trailer for Wolf-produced The Super.
Political advertising is a doggedly straightforward beast: You either remind your constituents why you’re awesome, or you remind them why your opponent sucks. (Sometimes, if you’re feeling really ambitious, you do both.) The twist ending is rarely employed, presumably on the grounds that you don’t want viewers to have…
Turns out Duckberg is safe for at least two more years: Disney announced today that it’s renewing its revived DuckTales series for a third season, before the second one has even had a chance to air.
Last August, with his announcement that his upcoming film The Old Man And The Gun would be his last, Robert Redford began his journey into the cinematic sunset…only to immediately turn his horse right back around this week.
We’re a little more than a week out from the 44th season premiere of Saturday Night Live, and the show has just released some info on a few new additions to its cast and crew. Per Deadline, the series is adding four new writers— Alan Linic, Alison Gates, Eli Mandel and Bowen Yang—to its roster, but the only on-camera…
Old love ’em and leave ’em Fukunaga is at it again, apparently, with Variety reporting that newly minted James Bond director Cary Fukunaga has made it clear that he has no interest in returning for a hypothetical second season of Netflix’s new show Maniac. Fukunaga helmed all eight episodes of the just-released…
Adventure Time may be over, but fans of Pendleton Ward’s ambitious and emotionally devastating storytelling can find some comfort in Bravest Warriors, which is just as full of plucky, young heroes and adorable creatures.
Kenan Thompson is a bona fide TV sketch comedy institution: As the longest-tenured cast member in Saturday Night Live history—and a member of Nickelodeon’s nostalgic kid-sketch touchstone All That before—Thompson has literally spent more than half of his life on the casts of televised sketch ensembles. Now, though, it…
